More details to this question:
I placed DV Asault charges in my ex- boyfriend, father of my two children. I did through Jefferson County in Colorado. My ex boyfriend then beg me to drop the charges and that he would change, so I did. Now he is pressing charges on me for harassment DV through Arapahoe County. Is there a way for me to reopen the Jefferson County case and file DV charges along with intimate relationship charges?

You can try but don’t be surprised if it does not work, since the charges were dismissed once. While I do not know the facts of the case your boyfriend is pursuing, you may be able to defend it claiming to be a self-defending victim, rather than an offender of DV. You need a lawyer familiar with this option.
